Does it matter how the bill is paid? I believe this is just personal preference and does not support Mark’s Luddite cause. <BR/><BR/>Now, If Mark and Kurt (the Luddite Dynamic Duo) were only allowed to use the teller inside the bank when the ATM was broken. Knowing this our Luddite Superhero’s were to using their wooden shoes (that they made with the Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment in their shop or “lair”) to break the ATM thus allowing them to “foil” the Anti-Luddite’s plans of allowing them to have a personal connection with their bank. <BR/><BR/>Then, I would say they were both Luddites.<BR/><BR/>Case #2<BR/>The same goes for the cabinet that needed a ¼” shaved off the face of it. In this case, our Luddite Superhero Mark needs is to shave a ¼” off a cabinet’s face. It turns out that the best way to satisfy this need was to whittle down the face with a hand plane. Luddite Superhero Mark claims this is this a victory for the Luddites everywhere? I (Anti-Luddite Super Villain) disagree. The choice to use a hand plane was not out of fear of a new technology. It was made when it was determined the hand plane offered the least risk in damaging the cabinet, while only slightly affecting the production schedule and it was the solution that cost the lest.<BR/><BR/>My finial pointless point to this blog is this.<BR/><BR/>Both of you Luddites should join the rest of us in the 21st century and start using an On-Line-Checking-Account to pay your bills.Robert Janeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00223477494414589844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923716687264710219.post-87833448873313008422009-01-30T08:58:00.000-05:002009-01-30T08:58:00.000-05:00Yes, Alanna, I'm afraid, very afraid of the ATM. Ever since that mean old <BR/>ATM ate my card because I'm too old to remember my secret code for the thing, it's left a very deep wound that just won't heal. That, and I just don't like the way it treats me.<BR/>MarkMark Gatterdamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08614015567743991308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3923716687264710219.post-45811950359840185982009-01-29T20:39:00.000-05:002009-01-29T20:39:00.000-05:00Wow, Mark. I *seriously* thought that my mom was the only person who was intimidated by the ATM.<BR/><BR/>-AlannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
